The Steamie

Event Details

It’s Hogmanay in a Glasgow wash house and the girls need to get their washing done before the bells. Join Dolly, Magrit, Doreen and Mrs Culfeathers as they laugh and cry their way through the last day of the year, with a little help from not so handy Andy.

First performed in May 1987, The Steamie has delighted and entertained audiences all over the world. Writer Tony Roper directs this new anniversary touring production, so get your tickets now before it sells out!

Reviews:

"There is no funnier piece of writing in the theatre than the Galloway's mince set-piece in this delirious 1987 comedy by Tony Roper" The Guardian FOUR STARS, read full review here.

 “Watching the quartet sing in raucous harmony as they pound out the dirt from their blankets in a row of mucky sinks, it's as if four Glasgow nymphs have been reborn in some celestial vineyard. It's an image to treasure.” The Herald FOUR STARS, read review here

“the play is a happy marriage of form and function” The Times, read full review here

 “its wonderful pattern of humour, pathos, and laugh-out-loud comic set-pieces” The Scotsman, FOUR STARS, read full review here

“Writer Tony Roper directs this anniversary tour with all the necessary attention to the comedy, but he also understands the poignant intimacy of the piece - particularly in David Anderson’s songs - as well as capturing society on the cusp of modernity.” The Stage, read full review here
